(16 miles from White Plains)

Currently a “contract brewer,” Yonkers Brewing Co. is producing its beer at the Thomas Hooker Brewing Company in Bloomfield, Connecticut, nearly 100 miles from White Plains. But expecting to have signed a lease in the Yonkers waterfront district by the time you’re reading this, upstart YBC is planning to begin operations in the city sometime this fall. The brewery will focus on three of its flagship beers—Yonkers Lager, Honey Blonde, and IPA—which are already available in many Westchester restaurants and retail outlets. Look for YBC beers at Pinch at the Yonkers Raceway.
